He said his mother Rabri Devi will kill him the way Maa Durga finished Mahishasur, the demon.

Neeraj Kumar has claimed that SRIJAN scam began in 2003 when Rabri Devi was CM.

Former health minister and elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav has hit out at Neeraj Kumar, JDU MLC declaring that his mother Rabri Devi will kill him the way Maa Durga finished Mahishasur, the demon.

Tej Pratap's threat to Neeraj came while he was speaking at the "SRIJAN ke durjano ka visarjan" rally in Bhagalpur on Sunday.

"JDU MLC Neeraj Kumar has been claiming that the SRIJAN scam began in 2003, when my mother Rabri Devi was the chief minister. If JDU was aware of the scam, then, why did they do nothing in last 12 years. Today, I am declaring that Rabri Devi will kill Neeraj Kumar just like Maa Durga killed Mahishasur," announced Tej Pratap Yadav.

Speaking at the rally, former deputy chief minister Tejaswi raised questioned why CBI, which was investigating the SRIJAN scam not registering FIR against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Sushil Modi along with other senior BJP leaders like Giriraj Singh, Shahnawaz Hussain and Nishikant Dubey who allegedly are involved in the Rs 1000 crore SRIJAN scam. He also raised questioned on two individuals from Bhagalpur, Uday Kant Mishra and Dr Jeta Singh who allegedly are close to Bihar CM and beneficiaries of SRIJAN scam.

"Why no FIR has been lodged against Nitish, Sushil Modi, Giriraj Singh, Shahnawaz Hussain and Nishikant Dubey who have acquired properties with SRIJAN money ? I ask Nitish who is Uday Kant Mishra in Bhagalpur? Whenever Nitish comes to Bhagalpur he always goes and meets Uday Kant Mishra," said Tejaswi Yadav, former deputy chief minister.

Tejaswi announced that his party will soon be moving the Supreme Court to seek a SC monitored probe in the SRIJAN scam. He also took a dig at Nitish about how he has fallen in the trap of BJP by allying with them, he said now a days there were photos doing the round on social media where Nitish is shown as a pregnant woman and Sushil Modi as "Asha" worker (maid) suggesting Nitish what to eat during pregnancy.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad, who also addressed the rally, said he was not afraid of PM Narendra Modi, who according to him, has unleashed investigating agencies like CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax on him and his family.

"I will hang, but will never bow before PM Modi. I am not afraid of Narendra Modi," said Lalu Prasad.

Lalu and his sons addressed a public meeting in Bhagalpur on Sunday to protest the SRIJAN scam.
